Android 13 announced with better app themes and privacy, now available for testing

Android 12 is still in its early phases of adoption, but Google, like every year, is thinking ahead. Surprising Android app developers, Google has launched the first developer preview of Android 13, the next version of Android. Google’s Android 13 has an upgraded theming option, better privacy features, better language controls, and granular permissions for apps. Android 12 was mainly about the Material You theme across the operating system, but with Android 13, Google is expanding customisability to the next level. The new Android version’s better language preferences will let users set a language on a per-app basis, so while one app would use English, for example, the other one could be in Hindi.
